"Kyle!" Darlene was stung as well. Yes, she knew she didn't deserve Traver, SHE KNEW IT OKAY? But Kyle didn't need to point it out so bluntly! "I know you want to help! I know you're worried, but Traver is the damn best person here so SHUT UP."
Then?
Well.
Darlene gathered what little dignity she had, wrapped her arms around herself and just...stared at Kyle. Or rather, stared him down. In that white knuckled, clenching her elbows, she would walk out of the precinct if he pushed right now way.
Could Kyle allow that?
Could he?
"You should check your apartment Kyle. I'll see you tomorrow." She said it quietly. Flatly.
Kyle worked his jaw a bit, took in the shaken, cracking appearance of Darlene...and he smiled. A satisfied, satiated smile at such a quivering look. It was...appeasing in a way. "Pick you up at Traver's then. Three pm shift start. Good night Darlene."
